We saw our new lab partner, Hyun, in class the next day. The class was in a lecture hall with theater seating, designed for 100ish people, but there were only about 13 in this class. Amy and I usually sat together in our own spot and other groups clustered around the space, with lots of vacant chairs in between.
Hyun walked up and sat next to Amy, and I was on the other side of Amy.
Hyun said, “Good morning guys, do you mind if I sit with you?”
Amy smiled and said, “Of course, you can sit with us.” Amy looked over at me with excited eyes for a minute.
Hyun said, “Sorry I didn’t wear my Catholic schoolgirl uniform, Jack,” and she winked at me.
I awkwardly said, “Maybe some other time, that would be fun.” my voice got higher pitched, my voice cracked, and I nervously laughed.
Amy wrote “real smooth horn dog” on my notebook paper and grinned at me.
Hyun cocked her head and read that message. Amy tried to cover the writing too late.
Hyun wrote on Amy’s notebook, “Am I making Jack horny?” and she gave us a mischievous grin.
